Defender 130 tail shaft

[Shingleback]

G'day all, long shot but I'm after a new or used tailshaft for my 130. Tried a few suppliers but no good. Needs to be from either a tdi or td5 130 with a salisbury diff.

Tried Tom Woods?

Is that why your truck was parked out the back of the servo in Corryong on Monday?

Hi Andrew,

Got one, used but in good nick. Located in Tamworth though. Still in car but will be coming out in a week or so. How soon do you need one? Price will be determined once I cost getting one from a 110 (building a 110 pickup out of a 130).

Thanks guys, I've found out that there is a new shipment of Hardi Spicer shafts coming in a few weeks, happy to wait till then. And yes it was in Corryong for a couple of days, got it back yesterday. Cheers, Andrew

How much did the shaft end up costing?
I find myself in need of a shaft.

A useful alternative if you have a machine shop available to retube a sjaft, is to buy a new front shaft from a 2002 onward defender which has the bigger stronger unis, part number is tvb100610, and get them to retube it to the correct length for the 130 rear. Much stronger.

Who is your local guy cj5350?

Thanks Justin sounds a good alternative.
Just no one in Alice with the right “mindset”.
Anyone with shaft needs has to go interstate.
Disappointed to add another “new/rebuilt” item to the list of failures straight off the shelf.
This one from well known franchise.
I’ll have a few options when I get to Perth, but would like to change it out prior to departure.

On the bright side I was happy to find out just how smooth the 130 is without a shoddy shaft.

We've done this a couple of times now, one was for a parks and wildlife 130 fire unit, always loaded and driven hard went through unis and spread yokes regularly until we did that mod.

1 more thing please Justin.
Are you using a genuine shaft or an "All Makes"?
Thanks for the great info.

Hardy Spicer brand I suspect, funnily enough the Britpart sticker is over the top of the 'genuine' dot punched part number...
We/ve never had an issue with them yet.
The other thing to do is to buy a used genuine one, and retube that. The unis are very high quality and last ages.

Slightly OT but I wonder how compatiable the TVB100610 is with an Isuzu County as a replacement for the front ?

I had one in mine..

Cool, that's good to know. I'm about to order one and was just finding different part numbers for pre/post 300TDI models. Given the transfer case is the same and is in the same place on my County (Isuzu) I couldn't see why they would need a different front prop.

Just take it to your local Hardy Spicer shop and ask them to make up a new stronger one. My local outlet has done this for me for vehicles ranging from a Ford Escort to White Road Bosses.
